Giant-killers strike again: Champions League underdog on incredible run

FK Bodø/Glimt is currently living the dream in the Champions League. After their 3-1 victory against Inter, they certainly have a chance of reaching the round of 16, while last year's finalists are left worrying about their own fate. 

For the Norwegians, this was their third consecutive win this season against a team from the top 5 leagues (victories against ManCity and Atlético). This makes them only the fourth team to achieve this.

This victory is all the more incredible when you consider that the Norwegian team is not currently playing league football. Their season ended in November, and the new season doesn't start until March. So far in 2026, all their matches have been in the Champions League.

This leaves plenty of time for preparation for the games, and next week they could secure their ticket to the round of 16 in Milan.
